The very last time....
« on: November 04, 2015, 08:50:56 PM »
Having a quiet moment here in the shed, packing the ST for the last time, it really does not feel that long ago, i was trying to figure out how to bolt a topbox  onto my Original ST....

Does that now make you an associate member ... because you don't own an ST anymore???..... Just sayin'

Maybe we should change the name of the club as it seems all of the old stall-wards are ditching the ST for something else..

Shiney, the clubs 1st and 2nd life member have either got rid of their ST or are looking for a replacement, the highest posting member is in the midst of transferring to a Goldwing and getting rid of his ST, most of the clubs oldest and most active members have migrated from the ST to Suzuki's, BMW ' S, Goldwings.

So my point is (tongue in cheek regarding Streak)  with so many of the most active members leaving the Honda ST 1100 and 1300 for other models and brands perhaps it's time to re-jig the club slightly from being a Honda ST based club to a 'sports Tourer' or 'Social Tourer' based club to reflect the way the membership is heading.

The only change to the forum I would recommend is to incorporate sections for the various makes and models that members own, such as we have for the 1100's and 1300's, all social aspects remain unchanged....

Just an idea. ..... just sayin'

It actually would not require any change at all to the banner and logo, considering that ST simply means Sports Tourer. :)

No problems, yes it is an interesting conversation, but, better suit for its own thread I think.  :grin

And your right Streak, White is so much better. :popcorn

I'd probably lean towards Social Tourer, that way we encompass everyone...

So one of the moderators start/transfer to new thread .. let's have a discussion...
